Does compassion really matter?

In Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference, physician scientists Stephen Trzeciak and Anthony Mazzarelli uncover the eye-opening data that compassion could be a wonder drug for the 21st century. Now, for the first time ever, a rigorous review of the science — coupled with captivating stories from the front lines of medicine—demonstrates that human connection in health care matters in astonishing ways. Never before has all the evidence been synthesized together in one place. You will see compelling evidence that:

Compassion has vast benefits for patients across a wide variety of conditions.

Missed opportunities for compassion can have devastating health effects.

Compassion can help reverse the cost crisis in health care.

Compassion can be an antidote for burnout among health care providers.

Forty seconds of compassion can save a life.

Anyone can grow in #empathy and #compassion. There is rigorous science behind it (one paper below). But people must first believe they can change. @zakijam wrote a fantastic book about this: The War for Kindness
